ird Round of the 2

UNIONDALE, N.Y. - One thing is clear through two months of the NHL season. If youre going to beat the New York Islanders, youd better get them in regulation.For the ninth time in nine tries, the Islanders come out on top in extra time. A tying goal by Matt Martin got them into overtime, and Josh Bailey finished off the New Jersey Devils in the fifth round of a shootout, lifting New York to a 3-2 victory on Monday night.We have a lot of confidence, whether its in OT or shootout, said Bailey, who also cut New Jerseys lead in half in the second period. We have a lot of guys who can put the puck in the net.The Islanders have won two straight in which they have trailed going into the third period. They rallied to beat Western Conference-power Chicago on Saturday. New York, with an Eastern Conference-best 21 wins, trails Pittsburgh by two points.We dont change our mindset no matter who were playing, Bailey said. With this corps, were trying to worry about what we have to do in here.Bailey spoiled the night for Devils goalie Keith Kinkaid, a Long Island native who had dozens of family and friends in attendance. His father is a former Islanders season-ticket holder, and the younger Kinkaid dreamed of playing at Nassau Coliseum.That wish came true in his second NHL start and sixth overall appearance. However, he skated off still in search of his first win.It was a memorable game in a memorable place, thats for sure, Kinkaid said. I thought I played well. It just wasnt enough.I was a little nervous. Its a big game against the Islanders, a top team in the league.Martin made it 2-2 with 4:15 left in regulation. Baileys goal between Kinkaids pads put the Islanders in front in the shootout, which ended when Jacob Josefson missed the net on New Jerseys final attempt.Kyle Okposo added a shootout goal, and Jaroslav Halak made 26 saves for the Islanders — 6-0 in shootouts.Marek Zidlicky and Scott Gomez scored first-period goals, and Jaromir Jagr assisted on both but New Jersey dropped its fourth straight (0-2-2). Kincaid finished with 31 saves. Gomez had the lone shootout goal for the Devils, 1-5 in the tiebreaker.Martin scored with 9:15 remaining in regulation, beating Kinkaid with a wide-angle shot for his fourth goal.We got ourselves regrouped and played a hard 40 minutes, Martin said. Were finding ways to win games. This one feels really good.The Islanders killed off the majority of John Tavares retaliatory slashing penalty to get the game into overtime. Tavares speared the defenceman after absorbing an open-ice hit seconds earlier.The trio of Jagr, Gomez, and Zidlicky made its presence felt in the first and staked Kinkaid to a 2-0 lead — first on a power play and then at even strength.Zidlicky struck with 7:45 left when Gomez sent a pass from the right side of the zone into the middle, where Zidlicky — steps in front of the blue line — ripped a drive that beat Halak.Zidlickys fourth of the season took advantage of the Islanders NHL-worst penalty-killers.Gomez and the Devils used help from the Islanders to double their lead. Gomez was at the right-wing boards when he spotted Jagr dashing down the left side for a backdoor play. Gomez zipped the puck across, but before it got to Jagr, it ticked off New York defenceman Lubomir Visnovsky and caromed past Halak with 4:40 remaining.Gomez has two goals and four assists in eight games since rejoining the Devils on Dec. 1.Zidlicky and Jagr got the assists on his latest goal, further padding Jagrs career dominance of the Islanders. Having faced them 105 times — often as a divisional rival — Jagr has 61 goals and 91 assists. The 152 points are his most against any team.Bailey cut the Islanders deficit to 2-1 at 1:51 of the second, 7 seconds after Jagrs late first-period hooking penalty expired. Bailey was left wide open in the slot for a shot off a feed from Ryan Strome for his fifth goal.Bailey, who missed three of the five previous games, has scored in two of his past three outings.After the first period, we werent panicked or anything, Bailey said. We needed to find our game, and I thought we did that.NOTES: The Devils activated C Travis Zajac from the injured list, after he missed eight games due to a lower body injury and a bout with the mumps, assigned forward Mike Sislo to Albany of the AHL, and recalled forward Tim Sestito from Albany. ...

Gabriel Olaseni had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Mike Gesell added 11 points for the Hawkeyes (16-4, 5-2 Big Ten), who avoided losing consecutive games for the first time this season after falling 75-67 at No. 21 Michigan on Wednesday. They shot 51.9 per cent from the field (28 of 54) and won their fourth in five games. Iowa, which outrebounded Northwestern 44-20, had nine players score. Marble, Iowas leading scorer, didnt make his first field goal until 3:08 into the second half. That was part of a 7-0 run that gave the Hawkeyes a 41-30 lead, their first double-digit advantage. Northwestern never got closer than seven points during a second half Iowa dominated 46-26. Drew Crawford had 20 points for Northwestern (10-11, 3-5), which had won three of four. Saturday was a rematch of the teams Jan. 9 game in Iowa City which the Hawkeyes won 93-67 after shooting 64.3 per cent during the second half. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery was suspended for that game after getting ejected during the Hawkeyes previous game at Wisconsiin.dddddddddddd On Saturday, McCaffery was coaching and along with Northwesterns Chris Collins wore sneakers as part of the annual Coaches vs. Cancer weekend. That first game was a turning point for Northwestern. Including the teams first matchup, the Wildcats started conference play 0-3 and were allowing an average of 81 points per game. In the next four games -- a stretch that included a win over then-No. 23 Illinois, a victory at Indiana and a double-overtime win over Purdue -- the Wildcats only gave up 51 points per game. Northwestern got Dave Sobolewski back after he missed four games (concussion), and had Crawford break the school record by playing in his 131st game and starting his 130th. He topped the marks set by John Shurna and Michael Thompson, respectively. The Wildcats shot 36.4 per cent from the field (20 of 55). Unlike the first meeting, when the Hawkeyes led 41-26 at halftime, Iowa struggled to separate from Northwestern during the first half despite making 50 per cent of its shots compared to the Wildcats 31.
